The Ultimate Crawley Town Marmite Poll

[Poyetry In Motion]

Who sells this Crawley Marmite? I can't find it anywhere in the supermarkets....

 

[Triggaaar]

What no fence? I need a sit down.
They're no marmite for me, I literally don't care one way or the other.

 

[The Original]

Palace overspill (well, maybe half a dozen) = Hate.

 

[sully]

Hate them, their manager is a right tosser and should have been banned from football after the Boston fiasco.

Erm........ He was.

I think what you mean is he should have been banned for life.

 

[sully]

Don't mind Crawley, like Sussex having two teams, but can't stand Steve Evans.

Ditto.

 

[bhaexpress]

Couldn't care less about Crawley but I have no reason to hate them.

 

[Pat McCrotch]

Oh the irony,someone from Shoreham calling Crawley a small town near an airport.

Yes, but i know and like the fact that Shoreham is a small seaside town near a small municipal airport, as opposed to a sprawling immigrant ridden slum that nestles under the flight path of Britain's second busiest airport.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Don't hate them as such; it's not going to ruin my weekend if they win a game.
But I'll have a giggle when they lose.
Don't particularly like them due to having a tosser for a manager and for effectively being the Notts County of a couple of seasons ago. Nothing to do with proximity to Brighton.
It'll all go tits up soon enough.

 

[Braders]

Interesting it's a "Marmite" poll yet most people have said "indifferent"

 

[chucky1973]

another thread about Crawley, oh my days, some people really do have a fear over them becoming a threat, I cannot believe that a Wolves forum for example have so many threads about Walsall or Hull and Lincoln. FFS get a life.

 

[chucky1973]

What is to love? serious question?

Horrible f***ing place, with mostly horrible f***ing people, and a horrible little club who think they are the bollox....

you generally post some very reasonable and structured comments, then occassionally you post some utter shite.

 

[countryman]

I don't mind Crawley. Its good to have two Sussex teams in the league. And as for Marmite, I bloody love it.

 

[Brighton till i die]

Apologies if u dont agree mate, but having lived around crawley until the age of 25, and having been to a couple of games with my little boy, i feel ive got enough experience to stand by my views

 

[Horsham Gull]

fence

 

[Brighton till i die]

No point me inviting you round for tea then?

Well, i wouldnt go that far mate i LOVE a good cuppa

 

[looney]

Its a shithole, their team, fans and club ditto. It will be the team of choice for palace scum when their joke club folds.

As a town it has gone from mediocre to the kind of slum characteristics of any place with to many immigrants. Seedy taxi drivers, Western Union exchange points for money laundering, rows of empty shops, people who treat each other with suspision as a matter of course. No decent chippies any more, no decent pubs ever.

A town centre that looks like an East German Stasi training complex. And now a shitty little ground in an area that looks like Milton Keynes on a bad day.


Yea I'm indifferent.

 

[Crawley 'Gull]

Have often gone to watch Crawley play since I moved here (about 15 years ago) and I know there are quite a few Brighton fans that will go and watch Crawley as well.

However I understand why people dislike them. Seeing a platform full of Crawley/Palace fans hurl abuse at some Brighton fans at Three Bridges station the other week put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth and can't help thinking my days of watching Crawley may be numbered! (not that I go that much anyway). Even found their 6-0 defeat on saturday midly amusing. And don't get me started on thier "One club in Sussex" chant...

Also, Michele Kuipers seems to be quite unpopular here - was quite suprised as he was such a legend at Brighton!

 

[Skaville]

once upon a time you even wanted to play at the Broadfield stadium.

...and in our hour of need... we ended up at Gillingham.

 

[Skaville]

And don't get me started on thier "One club in Sussex" chant...

That really takes the piss. They are fast becoming one of my most hated clubs. Can't wait till the bubble bursts to be honest. I'll be sorry for all their decent fans, the ones who have been there throughout, but the dodgy money, Steve Evans and the rest of the bullshit is beginning to grate.

 

[Brovion]

I'm broadly indifferent with a slight bias against; I always liked the fact that we were Sussex's league team and I don't like having to share that status. I was disappointed when we had to share coverage of our big day (1st FA Cup Fifth Round appearance in 25 years) with them just because they were playing at Old Trafford. I DID laugh when I heard they'd lost 6-0 on Saturday, it put the icing on a good day.

And no, at the end of the day they're not our rivals and perhaps I should be more magnanimous about our little cousins up the A23. But this is football and so therefore I'm allowed to not like them. But all those of you who sneer at the very concept of us having a rivalry with Crawley had better thank your lucky stars that Crawley's rise up the leagues has coincided with ours. Think back a few short years (Adams Mk II for example). If Crawley had been in their current position at that time then talk of a rivalry wouldn't have been so far-fetched. At the very least there would have been threads on here saying "I'm worried that we're losing fans to Crawley and that North Sussex will never be Albion territory again."
